Serralves em Festa

FROM 1 TO 3 JUNE, FREE ENTRANCE

50 HOURS NON-STOP

On June 1, 2 and 3, Serralves will host the 15th edition of Serralves em Festa!

It's Portugal’s biggest contemporary arts festival and one of the largest in Europe - with hundreds of activities taking place in the spaces of the Serralves Foundation and in various parts of Porto. Over the years it has become a must-see event for thousands of Portuguese and foreign visitors. In 2017 it broke all audience records, with more than 224,000 visitors.

The event’s programming includes performance-based initiatives that illustrate the interaction between the visual arts and the performing arts, in the fields of Performance, Music, Contemporary Dance, Theatre and Film, Architecture and Ecology, presented in a closer and more integrated relationship with the activities normally developed in Serralves Museum and Park.

Serralves em Festa also extends beyond the walls of the Serralves Foundation, via a programme that occupies different parts of Porto.

Serralves em Festa celebrates Serralves as an inclusive space for contemporary art and culture, while incorporating ideas and practices related to the environment and the landscape. It is the biggest contemporary arts festival in Portugal and one of the largest in Europe - with hundreds of activities taking place in the spaces of the Serralves Foundation and in various parts of Porto. Over the years it has become a must-see event for thousands of Portuguese and foreign visitors. In 2018 it broke all audience records, with more than 249,000 visitors. Serralves in Festa is an annual event that mobilizes the city of Porto and Portugal as a whole. To mark the 16th edition, in 2019, we propose a programme of performance projects presented in non-conventional spaces, or in dialogue with certain places in the Serralves Foundation, in particular the Foyers of the Museum and Auditorium, the Villa and Serralves Park.
